Need help installing .bin rpm file using puppet

[gaurav gundal]

Hi ,

I am trying to manage the rpm.bin using puppet. I want to install the x.rpm.bin on the RHEL 7 using puppet, but puppet package cannot be used to install the .bin package directly.

I have the file local on the server and I don't want to use and exec puppet resource to unpack bin and then use package.

Is there any module to unpack the bin file so that I can then use the unpacked bin rpm as a pacakge.

Thank you!

Does puppet-archive support that? If not, maybe something else on the forge.

Thank you!

Hi Gaurav,

what are rpm.bin files? I've never heard of that before.

The first hit on google is a description of weird JDK packaging from Oracle, where rpm.bin files are actually self-extracting shell scripts to do their wretched license dance. If that is your use-case, I would run this manually once on a scratch machine, capture the extracted RPM and use that going forward.

Cheers, David
